New Lumber Requirements in Revised L. A. Buildins Code in Full Elfiect April 1

April 1, the new lumber requirements in the revised Los Angeles building code are to go into full effect, according to Clyde Makutchan, superintendent of buildings. The new standards call for the use of grade-marked lumber which has been advocated by the Lumber & Allied Products Institute of Los Angeles, leading architects and co.ntractors.

Mr. Makutchan issued the following statement:

"Effective August n, 1938, a revision of the Municipal Code for the first time provided complete and up-to-date provisions with regard tolumber. This code change, now in effect for more than six months, has been found highly workable and provides desirable uniformity with other codes used in this area, namely, the Uniform Building Code of Pacific Coast Building Officials' Conference, Appendix A of the State Division of Architecture (with resrpect to schools) and Minimum Construction Standards of the Federal Housing Administration (with regard to dwellings).

"In order to permit the disposal of stocks on hand and to avoid financial loss on the part of retail lumber dealers in this area the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners granted an extension of time on certain grade and grademarking provisions. This time extension will expire March

31, hence the code amendment which became effective last August is now about to be enforced in full.

"Since current practice with respect to grades and grademarking will be changed, I think it advisable to review the following points. These will become effective April 1.

"2.-The minimum grade acceptable for joists, rafters, stringers, beams, girders and similar members shall be No 1 dimension.

"3.-Minimum grade acceptable for studs, struts, posts, columns and similar rnembers shall be No. 2 dimension (except that columns having a cross section of over 16 square inches must be No. 1.)

r'{.-\e. 3 boards for subflooring, wall and roof sheathing are acceptable and need not be grade-marked.

"5.-Exceptions to Items 2 and 3 are permitted in small buildings where the total cost for any one building operation does not exceed S500."
